Dr Ines Acuna was one of the kindest most caring people I have ever known. I had the pleasure of working with her here in the OR for many years. I can still see her little smile and hear her calm soft voice as she comforted her patients. A nicer person would be hard to find. She will be missed by many who knew her.

I worked with Ines for a number of years tending her yard and gardens. I have fond memories of working along side of her and listening to her stories. She was always smiling and very appreciative of the help I gave her. I am very glad I had the opportunity to know her and will miss her !

It was a pleasure to know Dr. Acuna. Her kindness and consideration eztended to her homeland. During the holidays she would purchase colognes and jewelry to take to her native Chile to share with as many as she possibly could. She had a very big heart and cared for many over the years. May she rest in peace.
